Quantization and tempo settings
What is quantization?
Quantization is a function that automatically corrects the timing of your playing. It only functions during the
recording process. By making the appropriate quantization setting, you choose between resolution intervals of 8th
notes, 12th note triplets, 16th notes, or 24th note triplets.
When you take your finger off the [STANDBY] button, it will light and the PHRASE LOOP screen appears.
The currently selected kit is shown.
Turn [Knob 3] (TEMPO) to set the tempo.
You can set the tempo manually by tapping [Button 3] (TAP)
four times or more. You can also set the tempo by holding
down [Button 3] (TAP) and playing a pad four times or more.
Turn [Knob 1] (QTZ)
to select the quantize
interval.
Or select “OFF.”
Or select “OFF.”
To start recording, press
[Button 2] (START) or hit
a pad.
Now make settings for the phrase that you will record (quantize to 8th notes, tempo 100).
3. Turn [Knob 1] (QTZ) to set quantization to “ 8” (8th notes) .
If you’re confident that you have precise timing, you can leave this setting “OFF.”
4. Turn [Knob 3] (TEMPO) to set the tempo at “100 .”
MEMO
You can also set the tempo of the phrase before entering standby mode, in the kit screen.

Play the pads in rhythm with the click. Recording automatically begins the moment you hit the first pad.
